Comment: Thank you! Thanks for resending. I love this card! The first one hasn't showed up. I always wonder what happens to missing mail. If it's fallen in a crack or if whoever has it is cherishing it lol. Thanks again!

Comment: I have received your postcard. I'll send it to your home this monday (my post office is closed the week end).
Thank you very much for the extra postcard. I really like your national bird !
Best wishes from France

Comment: Hi Cindy, thank you for the PC of a mammoth, which is not a dinosaur. I'm really quite confused as to how to rate you for this. I personally will accept the mammoth but in the future please be aware that if you need to substitute then it's best to arrange it with your partner so you do not get a rating of 3 UPDATE 02.15th: Oh Cindy you didnt have to resend, but I really love the PC you sent. Thank you so much.

Comment: Hi Cindy thank you for the Christymas card. Sounds like a different Christmas for both of us. This is the first year my son and daughter in law are hosting the family Christmas Dinner at their new home. They moved to the Island last March. peace love light.

Comment: Cindy thank you for the pc as it arrived in my mailbox today! Lizards are Kool! Iâ€™m so sorry to hear they are endangered! I hope it is not a lost cause for humans to realize what we are doing to our planet and then we all push to make big changes to live in balance and harmony!

Comment: Thank you very much for the Jetoy card and lovely stamps :D Autumn is beginning to show it's face here but today is quite summery despite a chilly start to the day. Looking forward to a nice autumn :D

Comment: Thank you very much! I love the postcard! :) It looks pretty and Dr Who is my favourite science fiction (but I like Star Wars as well, thanks for the stickers :D) , I can definitely recommend watching it :) And thank you for the recommendation, I haven't watched that version of Sherlock Holmes yet! Also thanks for the nice bird stamp :) Best wishes!

Comment: Thanks for the great Doctor Who postcard. I haven't seen the older series but I've started with season 1 of the new Doctor Who series. I hope I can find the older series because I really like to see those too.

Comment: Thanks for the Kokako pc & postage! Love the year of the ox postage, too! Good idea to set aside matching PCs& postage in advance. I should have a look through mine again and get ready for the next round!

Comment: Thanks for the Vaders little princess postcard. I really love those cards, also have the same pc book. There is also a pc book from Darth Vader and son, same style and humor I think you'll like that one too :-)

Comment: Hello Cindy,
Thank you for the 3 coloring postcards you sent me for this swap. I really like the 3 postcards you sent me for this swap. I like the variety of the postcards.
Kindly,
Barb

Comment: Thank you for this pc of a Pukeko, Cindy! I'd never heard of this bird, but it sounds fascinating! (So I looked it up. From the two videos I watched I learned that yes, they do indeed "screech." :-) I also learned that they have rather freaky feet. Their "toe" bones are so long!) :-) Thank you for sharing!!!

Comment: Absolutely Fabulous Cindy, my friend, your postcard showing Kennedy Space Center, FL, loved the incredible "glow in the dark" postage stamp! So special these unique postage stamps with special effects. My mom has big interest in these types of stamps, she loves this one so I gave her the postcard for her collection. Thanks again, fun swap, enjoyed reading how you wanted to be an astronaut. Happy March!

Comment: Oh what a sweet postcard â€“ Thank you Cindy! I also really like the stamp collection. Well I agree with you: There 365 days to spread love â€“ not just one single day. :) Have an awesome week.

Comment: Thank you very much for the great selection of cards, I especially love the flag card for my collection. I appreciate you resending too. I felt terrible that the first one didn't get here as I know you are an A++++ swapper. Hope to see you in a swap again soon to return the favor!

Comment: I've been a bit behind in rating and keeping up with swaps. Imagine my pleasure when I discovered not one but two postcards from you for this swap. Thank you so very much, both of them are wonderful! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Comment: Cindy, thanks so much for the lovely card and the enclosed pc's! I got the flu for Christmas so I'm a bit late rating--please forgive me. Your card is so pretty and really brought a bit of joy to my day!

Comment: Thank you so uh for the wonderful PCs - I love them all but especially Rewa Rewa Bridge and the Back Beach - just breathtaking! I also enjoyed the NZ mapcard - now I know where the cities/towns are that I've heard mentioned on various TV shows I've watch. . . and bird and animal PCs are always welcome at my house! Thanks again for the wonderful selection and hope you have a joyous New Year and hope to see you in lots of swaps in 2017 ~~

Comment: Hello my friend Cindy! Thank you for your cute Christmas card showing reindeer celebrating for the holidays. And thank you for the extras of the cute small Christmas cards. They are handy and I will use them as gift cards this year. Happy December!

Comment: Thanks so much for the colourful and cheerful Christmas card, Cindy! Thanks for decorating the envelope, too! I love the two postcards you included, they're awesome :) Thanks also for the two mini Christmas cards! What a wonderful swap, thank you so much, and Merry Christmas! xxx

Comment: Thanks for the very cute christmas bunny postcard, it put a smile on my face today! In my experience so far sometimes a year goes by fast indeed and sometimes it doesnt. Merry Christmas to you! :)

Comment: Thank you for the magnificent "Robot Bride" postcard, Cindy! I love the style.
It's virtually impossible to find any non-touristy cards here without visiting museums. Fortunately, I live just outside Washington, DC, where there are many museums! I also end up buying cards online from vendors who advertise on Postcrossing.
Take care! -Fred

Comment: Thank you so much for the great "W" PC. . . the Great Wall ha always fascinated me. I always think I would love to walk it but then I realistically think I really wouldn't . . . but the thought is there :-) Thanks for the great PC and hope you have a wonderful weekend ~~

Comment: hello, thank you for your card, you dont have to excuese for having you as a partner, it is game and i like to have any partners who color card for me even it reapeats:), no need to miss some swaps:), gladly to see you anytime

Comment: hello, i didnt find the number of this round on the postcard written but i finally recognized it:), thank you for nice card, i also have many books and look forward to some holidays - Christmas - to have more time to color:))

Comment: Thank you for the adorable Star Wars postcard! I really enjoyed this swap, both receiving and sending. I always feel like there should be more nerd-themed swaps on here. ;D This one was lovely. <3

Comment: Hi, Cindy! Thanks for the card! I also love the stamps you used. Those rockhopper penguins are adorable! The PC you sent is of Matsumoto Castle in Nagano, according to the caption. You mentioned that you wished you knew where it was as it looks like a lovely place to visit. :)

Comment: Great coloring! did you use markers? It is so neat. Thanks so much for the card and the interesting postage stamps you used. Funny, we had been having such lovely spring weather and today we had about an inch of snow all over the flowering bulbs.

Response: Yes, I used markers. I find the colours are more vivid. A bit harder to get in the skinny lines though :)

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful post card! I hope to visit New Zealand one day!!! The time change is so crazy! Traveling is so confusing when you leave a country, spend the day traveling, and get to another country around the world on the same day!!! I love to travel tho!

Comment: What an interesting and bizarre PC! I certainly would not have guessed what it was. . . and I agree with you -- what was the artist thinking!?!?! As with you, it gave me a chuckle and I studied it and just shook my head. Thanks for the interesting PC :-) Hope to see you in more swaps in the future ~~

Comment: hi Cindy
Thanks for the beautiful postcard of Tongaporutu :) Looks so lovely there!!
It's really windy here at the moment too! It must have blown in with the postcard!! haahah!! 14C - Windy and sunny!
Gabi

Comment: Thank you for the fun selection of postcards, the kiss is the best one! Rush hour is funny, Christmas is cute and NY is always great! Thanks also for the extra goodies. Happy New Year! Cute Star Wars stickers on envie!

Comment: Thank you Cindy for the Christmas Lights postcard showing all the houses in the snow with lights. Also, loved the Religous Christmas postage stamp on your PC. My brother-in-law is trying to figure out how to put Christmas lights on a palm tree. I'm recovered from picking up too heavy boxes. I must be more careful for this Christmas. My best wishes to you this holiday season. Happy December!

Comment: Thank you so much for the wonderful elephant PC I love it especially since the trunk is up =D. I will let you know how lucky this ends up being for me in 2016. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Comment: Thank you so much for the pretty card and tea. It arrived just in time because we are expecting some cold weather to come in this weekend. I think we have somehow channeled the gale force winds that you were supposed to get because it is extremely windy here. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.

Comment: What a great postcard. Thank you so much. I think they started here way to soon too. I love it, but by the time Christmas is over I'm done with it so now I will probably be over done with it lol. Thanks again!

Comment: Hello Cindy and thank you for the postcard, awesome majestic postage stamp showing a beautiful landscape in NZ. The figures, hanging out & relaxing, remind me of my sister & her family. Love the postcard swaps at this time of the year. Happy November!

Comment: Thank you for this Dunedin card. It must be getting warm down there now, it's finally starting to cool off here in the deep south. We have cold winters, not bad, we did get some snow 5 years ago. not a lot. a few inches, it was pretty, then it melted the next day. Hope you are fine.

Comment: Love Love Love the PC...Kia Ora...very cool. I understand about moving around. As a kid we moved around A LOT. I went to 13 different schools. I was always the new kid. Good Luck and hope things calm down soon.

Comment: Thanks for a great postcard, Cindy, and for introducing me to a children's book I've not read and will try to find. Where do you find the cards online? I have a hard time finding new postcards. I bought several from 1/2 Price Books and Dover publishing but a Google search never gets me anywhere.

Comment: Thanks for the zebra. I wish we had a miserable cold day. Because we have a miserable hot day. A cousin's daughter and her family moved to Aukland a couple of months ago and she's visiting now to help with a new baby. She's posting cold weather photos to Facebook.

Comment: Thank you Cindy for the cute post card. That is awesome that Spring is coming in your part of the world. It is still hot here, but I'm sure Autumn will be here before we know it. take care, darla

Comment: Thanks for the Umhlanga Rocks card...
and the wonderful selection of NZ postage. We were talking of expensive hotels in another swap just recently and mostly agreed that they were not worth the price. On the other hand I have a friend who says that if she wins the lottery she's going to live in a hotel!

Comment: Hello Cindy! Love the Pubs of London postcard you sent to me from New Zealand. And love the postage stamps you used, Giant Eagle & the lovely scenic view. Hope you are enjoying cooler temperatures in your "Winter" season.

Comment: I love this card, Cindy. I have none from the Ladybird books and like them very much. I discovered them at the library for my kids (just a few were in their collection). Then I discovered them for sale at a "British Collection" shop in the Rice University neighborhood. So we were able to buy a few to keep for our own. Wasn't it grand to get things in the mail when we were children? It's a bit the way I feel when I have swaps in my day's mail now. We are all still children deep inside I maintain! If I don't let that child come out to play now and then, I am a lesser person. That's why I love having our kiddos for a day--I get to laugh and play with them. I cool weather when I can have windows open, I love hearing the children playing on our street. Thanks for a special card!

Comment: Thanks for the great PCs. . .I, of course, love the dog :-) The B&W one is very odd. . . I like it but it is odd - what did you think of it? Thanks again for the great PCs and have a great week ~~

Comment: I sent an American Crocodile pc to my partner. ;oP Crocodiles and alligators are among the few animals that I only want to see in a zoo - not running around loose, near me! I love the pc, thanks! :o)

Comment: Cindy, thank you for the hummingbird postcard. They are one of my favorite birds. They are so tiny, you really have to look closely for them and they are so fast. One second they are on our feeder and the next they are gone. Our summer is extremely hot, in the 90's for over 2 weeks now. We are lucky though, it seems we have an afternoon downpour every afternoon. Shirley

Comment: Thank you for the shining postcard. The finish is very unusual. I would love to visit the lighthouse. I am tired of this cold weather. At 1pm it is 6C outside, and it's dry and overcast. I am not looking forward to watching my boys play hockey tonight.

Comment: I got your postcards a week ago. Sorry, for the late rating. I loved jetoy postcards very much! The Halloween one is cute too. I hope you will be able to decorate your home this year. Your cards're on the way :)

Comment: Thank you so much for your wonderful cat post card, it arrived today. Funny thing though, there is a huge stamp across the back of it saying "MISSENT TO TAIPEI". So I think this poor little post card went through an extra long journey to reach me...lol

Response: Wow, so glad someone didnt chuck it in the bin in Taipei :) Happy it found you.

Comment: Cindy ~ Great PC! It's warm, humid and partly cloudy. . . temps are higher than normal for this time of year but it's supposed to get back to our norm of the 70s tomorrow which will be very welcome -- the heat and humidity plus the pollen make it miserable for those with allergies, asthma, or COPD. Have a great week and thanks again for the great PC ~~

Comment: Hi Cindy--Thanks for the great movie card! The War Census stamp is really nice too--I just received some other Anzac stamps from Australia. I Hope you've been making the most of the staying indoors weather!

Comment: Thank you for your beautiful card! I got it a long time ago and also rated you, but I guess I pushed the wrong button or something that it did not save my ratingðŸ˜³ then I archived the swap and thought I am done.... I am sorryðŸ˜Š have a Nice weekend ðŸ˜‹

Comment: I agree, this is pretty boring, although the fish themselves are pretty. Well, "in the eye of the beholder" fits this. ;oP
I hope @Paige1900 continues this swap, because I have more to get rid of. ;oP

Comment: Cindy - Love this PC! I did have to stop and think where you were when I read your note about putting extra blankets on the bed. . . we are in spring here so we're having 60-70 degree weather. I always find it so interesting that our seasons are reversed as I think most people think wherever they are the rest of the world is the same! Thanks again for the great PC. . . lazing on the beach with a good book always appeals to me :-)

Comment: Thank you for another great swap. I'm getting confused too since we are partners in swaps so often lately. I don't mind. You're too generous with the extras. I'll pop your mapcard in the mail tomorrow. Take care.

Response: My pc has arrived home safely. That is a very creepy Lon Chaney stamp. Very creepy.

Comment: Cindy, this pc of the Zulu warriors is great - thank you! When I was a teenager, I became fascinated with the animals and people of Africa - read everything about them I could get my hands on for about a year. The Zulu were a tribe to be reckoned with, for sure! Next time you go back, just pack a bathing suit, and you'll have plenty of room for postcards. ;oP

Comment: Thank you for the pikitia card. Gorgeous bird! We are just about ready for Spring although I heard possibly more snow on Friday. I can't take it even if it's a little bit! Warm wishes your way.

Comment: Love your wild, wet & windy PC. I like any kind of rough weather & most particularly at sea. I once took a v.large ferry from mainland BC over to Haida Gwaii. The waves were breaking over the top of the boat... the bartender and I were the only people who weren't ... um... suffering!

Comment: The New Yorker always has great covers and I love the little dog on this one. Right now I'm reading the amazing poetry of Mary Oliver. She speaks my language and touches my soul. Thanks for a great swap! ðŸ˜Š

Comment: Hello, Cindy! Thank you for the cool card and Year of The Sheep stamp! I don't get a lot so I'm happy to get a card from NZ. I really enjoyed this swap, if you ever make another one I will be joining again :)

Comment: Excellent PC, thank-you!! I too have a few box sets of things that I only get to break out every so often for these specific type swaps. I am going to have to look into that Star Wars set for sure though. Anything with Yoda on it is a must have:)

Comment: hello again!
That's nice: lighthouses in Ohio from New Zealand.
I don't why but lichthouses always make me happy. Mostly painted colourfully and in different shapes.
Both cards arrived last saturday!

Comment: Gorgeous "F" postcard for Flowers & Forest - Georgia's Callaway Gardens postcard you sent me. Thank you Cindy for this lovely view, & I loved the special New Zealand postage stamps you sent on the PC! Fun swap!

Comment: Thank you for doing this swap with me :) I really love all the ad cards and marimekko one is my absolute favorite :) I will send yours tomorrow. Oh, and I totally would love to do another swap :)

Comment: Hi,Sorry for the delay in posting. I have been on a two month trip around the USA attending post card shows. Thank you for the great recipe you sent for Ohio Buckeye Candy. I look forward to trying it. Enjoy the day! Demaris

Comment: Thank you for the great pc of Athens. I enjoyed reading your fascination of Ancient Greece. Your pc traveled 14 days from New Zealand to Ohio, USA. Also love the stamps. Blessings this holiday Season.

Comment: Hi Cindy! Got your cool NASA card and it will be on it's way to you tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for all the ad cards! I was thinking I needed to hunt soon as I was running a bit low. Perfect timing!

Comment: Great PC of the Empire State Building. . . and yes it was an old photograph because NYC certainly doesn't look like that now!! It's always fun, however, to see the old photos of a place. . . so many changes and progress! Thanks again for the great PC and take care ~~

Comment: I love your card, Cindy. I love the mountains, and the sea... that's why I live in BC... we get them both. (There is actually a small desert area in the interior of the province.)
And I adore the postage you used, especially the NZ holograph. Canada Post issued a holograph stamp quite a while ago... hockey players!

Comment: Tsk, tsk! B is for Bad.... bad Cindy for forgetting the swap name... LOL, just teasing you darlin'.... it was pretty easy to figure out what it was. I love the "Badlands" card, and I love thunderstorms!!! We don't get very many here on the westcoast. Had one just recently and of course I had to go out on my balcony to watch it, and my silly little cat followed me out & she watched too! Thanks too for the great NZ stamp.

Response: Oh geez, did I really!? You would think after all these years on here I would remember the most important part. Must be old age ;)

Comment: Very cool pc, thanks so much :) And you always put great postage stamps on the pc which I like very much, but I hardly can buy interesting ones.... :/ We don't celebrate Halloween, but it has became a fashion for few years among young communities. Anyway I had a scary Halloween, I started watching The Walking Dead series :)

Comment: Hello my friend Cindy! Love this Halloween PC view as I imagine myself asleep with fairies around me. They could give me happy, fantasy dreams of being at the beach. The goblins can stay at Universal Studios! I am doing better now that FL is getting cold weather fronts. The cooler nites its easier to sleep. Happy Halloween!

Comment: Thank you for sending me two kiwis. The stamp colour is so plain that my eye was attracted to the other stamp first and I couldn't see the connection to the kiwi on the front. I must have been tired. Looking forward to our next swap.

Comment: What an adorable PC. Thank You. I am sorry you don't celebrate Halloween over there. It's a fairly big deal here, although not as much as when I was a kid. Oh and love the stamps...so pretty. : )

Comment: Cindy ~ Pretty PC - I like multiview PCs so I can see more of a place :-) I've found that some airports just don't have a lot of PCs . . .maybe sending them is a dying thing to do when traveling, which is very sad. Thanks for the pretty PC and happy swapping ~~

Comment: Received two swaps from you today, so it was a particularly happy mail day around here. Thank you! The PCs you sent are wicked - as in, wicked awesome. Banksy? Seriously? And HP Lovecraft! I'm still laughing at Daisy Drizzler - ha ha. All keepers. Thanks again.

Comment: Hi Cindy! Awesome card, beautiful stamps! Thank you for a great mail day. The card made me laugh (maybe I was supposed to be spooked?), and now I really want to read "Rats" this month. ha ha. Thanks for joining!

Comment: Lovely card from Greece. My daughter especially enjoyed it as she's studying Greek architecture currently in her art history class. I also appreciate the pretty postage stamps on back. Thank you so much.

Comment: Thank you for the awesome Sci-fi art card. The only place I can get Art cards is on the internet. The 2 places here that sell new cards only have tourist cards. I love them but would love a little variety.

Comment: Thanks a lot for your great sheep card and matching stamp - I love sheep! I spent three weeks in England in August and they also have lots of sheep there. Here in Germany you hardly ever see any, at least not where I live...

Comment: Thank you for the postcards but I especially love the cat stamps. I realise that they are very old but would you have any more in the set? As for the postcards I love them also. It is strange how your birds are so different to ours. Looking forward to swapping with you again.

Comment: Thanks so much for this lovely postcard. Love the postage stamps that you used to mail it, too. Hope you are keeping warmâ€¦ it should be almost summer temps here but we're still cool most daysâ€¦ crazy weather!

Comment: I did not have a dog (or cat) when I rented too. Zoey sure does keep me hopping, she is just 12 weeks old now. I have posted video's of her playing on my blog and you can get to my blog from my profile page. Thank you for the great postcard.

Comment: Cindy, thank you for the wonderful postcards. I will look at each one and then place them in my worldwide stamp/ postcard album. Watersmeet Waterfall is my favorite. Don't give up on hosting vintage pc swaps. I think they will gain popularity on swap-bot.

Comment: Cindy - Japan has lots of private museums. I think collectors get tax breaks or something if they display art to the public. The best museums were one floor of an office building, probably like this one.

Comment: Thank you so much for the postcard from Auckland NZ, it is beautiful and the different postage stamps you used to send it, made it extra special. I have the perfect place for this in my SMASH book as I have a collection of postcards from around the world. Cheers!

Comment: Thank you! Wow, impressive, how quickly it got here! Absolutely LOVE the great extra PCs, especially the sheep!!! Wow, didn't know that it snows there! Thanks for the FBs as well, will pass them on quickly!

Comment: Lol, yeah her body language looks more I'll than Sexy, as you'd expect with liquor. Thanks for the unique card, I wonder if it is a recipe for the spumoni campari drink or if it is a "warning" on the side.

Comment: Thanks for the supercool postcard that also taught me the Maori greeting Kia Ora! Our weather is slowly but surely warming up as spring bursts forth. It's been a long and snowy winter and I'm ready to retire my coat. :)

Comment: Thank you for the cute b/w postcard of the little boys at their desks. And yes, spring is here for sure, warmer temperatures and flowers. Winter seemed so long this year although Victoria gets little snow, lots of rain however.

Comment: Loved the postcard! Thank you so much :). It is always interesting to hear about other places and learn something new! New Zealand is one of the places I want to visit most and the postcard made me want to go there even more! Thank you :).

Comment: Thank you for the lovely card:) It should be spring already but it's still winter here:/ I don't like winter either and I really hope it would be spring and summer soon, but right now we still have snow and it's very cold!

Comment: Wow! What a wonderful historic house. This the kind of home I would love to go into. It looks like it would take more than one day to explore ii. Wonder if it was used in spooky movies. Thank you for sharing this postcard. It is a keeper. Shirley

Comment: I love this postcard! I would have been happy to receive it even if the topic wasn't 'seen better days' because I really like abandoned buildings and towns. I think ghost towns are so interesting and I would love to travel around visiting some. So, thank you!

Comment: Thanks again for a great card and for hosting! This one made it to me looking like new! I've been to Disneyland and Disney World, but it's been a while! Hope to settle on a house soon but then will slowly move over the next few months (luckily, it's nearby).

Comment: Thanks for all of the beautiful stamps! Those kiwi stamps are gorgeous, as is the honeybee. And the odd mix of animals was fun to look through -- squeal -- there was another kind of kiwi stamp and a seahorse! Too fun! <3<3<3

Comment: Hi Cindy
Good choice of cards. We just went shopping for a new cell phone for hubby. We are in a good area this year and didn't have any snow or cold. We could use some rain, however. Stay warm.

Comment: Thank you for another interesting postcard. Visiting museums (and art galleries) can be very exhausting. Next month I am holidaying overseas. My legs are already feeling tired just thinking about where we are going.

Comment: Thank you for the "Forest Guardian" card! :oP He's a pretty scary looking guy - I wonder if he scares mosquitoes away? If so, we could use him here! I hope the Cicadas' have settled down by now. ;o)

Comment: Thanks for your postcard. It is really fun to see old cars (how did a 5-persons family into a small car like that?) And I see a mother and daughter with dresses.........
I love the stamp of The Word Witch, I googled the pictures of Margaret Mahy and they're great!

Comment: What a beautiful beach and it looks like people really enjoy it! I understand how disappointing it can we to go to a beach and then find there is little else to do there -- nothing better than a nice little boardwalk or some other things to do if you're making a day of it! Thanks for the great PC and have a wonderful week ~~

Comment: Thank you for pretty Bali post card. I went there once. It is very beautiful. They were preparing for a religious ceremony just before I left. They have many of those, I understand. Flowers are used with much elaborate work. An Australian said his houseboy went back to his village so often for religious holidays, he was seldom there to work for him.

Comment: Thanks for the incredible postcard! I have no problem with Ad cards when they are clever and artistic -- and this one certainly is. And the postage stamp is fabulous. Wonderful delightful swap! <3<3<3<3<3

Comment: Thanks Cindy for the precious card! I have boxes that are for archival use for postcards! My office is full and my husband swears it's a fire hazard. I love to escape up here to my woman cave!!! LOL!
Thanks again, and enjoy life! Jane

Comment: Thanks so much for the postcard of Miffyâ€¦she's is a small female rabbit in a series of picture books drawn and written by Dutch artist Dick Bruna. The original Dutch name, Nijntje, is a shortening of the diminutive konijntje, "little rabbit". I had to verify that on Wikipedia because all I could remember was the artist (Bruna) LOL! That's what friends are for, right?

Comment: Thank you so much for the tokyo postcards. I love the stamps too. Especially the hobbit and titanic one. I will wait and see what you think of the swap I sent you. If you like it I would love to do another private swap sometimes maybe for other hobbit stamps and postcards. Thank you again so much. :)

Response: So glad you like them. And I cant believe they got to you so fast :)
I would love to swap with you again.

Comment: Thanks for the nice card from Dartmouth. I have been collecting postcards all my life from trips and foreign penpals. But it's really taken off since Postcroossing and Swapbot. I am excited to go to the mailbox every day. :-)

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful wall calendar, this is just what I was dreaming of! I was so delighted with it I hung it as fast I as could above my desk. 2 hours later, something dropped down: your note and the extra stamps :) Thanks!

Comment: Thanks for the cute card, it made me giggle! I agree with couples sometimes changing after marriage. I have been with my DH for so long now that I would be amazed if either of us had changed. LOL

Comment: Thank you for the pretty card. I love the Queen's coat and hat. Even Anne is looking pretty I haven't figured out who the children are. Princess Margaret's two children? I wish names were given.

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful card, it gives me hop ethat someday I'll be warm again since it's been so cold in here lately :D The stap had the words 'Matakirir Koru' in it and koru means jewelry in Finnish so I thought it was quite a funny coincidence ;)

Comment: The beach! Water that's not iced up! Thanks for the aerial view. We have all our kitchen cabinets open and taps dribbling to keep pipes from freezing and bursting. Temp this morning was -26Â°C. It's warmer now, -19Â°C.

Comment: Thanks for the great cards!! I likedthem all but have to admit that my favorites are the ones from your "what on earth" category; they look like so much like regular photos of random holiday decorations, and that makes them so weird that I love them. :-) Thanks again!!

Comment: Thank you for the complement about my ATC's. I did them for a swap I was in on my Yahoo group and 1 extra to send to a artist in the Ukraine, You are right about cats liking birds, they like mice too. My siblings and I had a mouse that our cat got.

Comment: Thank you for the gorgeous card of the H.M Bark Endeavour! Such a beautiful vessel, my seafaring is limited to row boats but would be amazing to hop abroad one of those gorgeous replica ships!

Comment: Thanks for the nice San Francisco card! Cliff House is still there, though it looks a bit different than when this card was printed. It's quite a tourist spot, especially since it's right on the coast.

Comment: Hello Cindysm (Cindy Smith from New Zealand). I received you MickeyÂ® postcard with a qr code postage stamp. I never received it before, i tried to check the qr code with my smartphone and i couldnÂ´t. I hope your garden tomatoes grow up safely and the New Zealand weather is getting better. Have a great mail day, maria das trouxas

Comment: Thanks for the great postcard!!! I live right on the beach but it is too cold to swim right now. Your postcard made me miss being able to go IN the ocean, instead of just sitting next to it in a jacket.

Comment: What a great PC!!! I haven't seen the newest Hobbit movie either. Sorry for the late rate but I've had a busy January. Thanks again for the great PC and hope to see you again at the mailbox :-)

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful PC...the park looks like a place I would love to visit! My answer to your question.... I liked the first movie the best! That's usually the case when they make a sequel... The first is always better! But I love any movie that Rene Z plays in! The part she played in Cold Mountain was phenomenal! Have a great day!

Comment: Cindy, guess what arrived in the mail today? I was pleasantly surprised to find that this card arrived in near-perfect condition, the last one from Auckland had no such luck :D The writing-side of the card is lovely, as is your address label. Thank you, here is a heart for you.

Comment: Beautiful dolphin pc, thanks! I'm with you, New Year's doesn't hold the fascination it did when I was younger! Last year it was an ice cream cone, visit to the variety store and in bed at 9:30, this year not much different! Lol!

Comment: Cindy, thank you so much for the beautiful postcard of the Musical Fountain at Sentosa. I reminds me of the fountain we have in the states at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is breath taking to watch. Happy New Year. Shirley

Comment: My family came from Scotland, Ireland and England. My dad's family came to Nova Scotia in the 1700's. I wonder what made your family go to S. Africa, when so many were moving to the "new land"? And, then YOU move so very far away. Would love to visit NZ!

Comment: I think this is the 3rd thing you've sent me for a swap in the last week or so! Great to have you as a partner again! Funny how the 'bot is a small world sometimes! Hope you have a lovely Xmas and holiday season!

Comment: Cindy -- the beaches of New Zealand look beautiful - are they crowded? And the Hawaiian PC is just gorgeous and I can attest that it is like paradise when you visit. And a special thank you for the great notecard - I love it!! Thanks for the great PCs and have a great holiday season ~~

Response: No, most of the beaches are not crowded, one of the good things of living on an island, beaches everywhere! :)
Hope you and yours have a wonderful festive season.

Comment: Cindy -- Love the PCs! I especially like the one showing people playing croquet -- we played that almost every day when I was growing up and what fun we had! I haven't played in years but know I would still enjoy it. Thanks too for the fairy note card. . .will certainly use it! Thanks again for the great PCs and have a wonderful weekend ~~

Comment: Hello Cindy, thank you so much for the amazing postcard. I love old black-and-white portraits. And many thanks for the stamp! I'm so glad to get a Hobbit movie stamp from New Zealand. Have a nice day ~ Eugenia

Comment: Thanks for the lovely water lilies pc! There are white lilies in my frog pond that the frogs really enjoy. They hang onto the pads with their elbows, and dangle the rest of their body in the water - it's so cute! I hope you make it to living in the country or a really small town someday, where you can hang out with the critters - if you can dream it, you can make it happen! ;o)

Comment: Thank you for the lovely postcards from New Zealand! I actually visited New Zealand in 1997 and LOVED it...I hope to return someday. I visited Rotarua and Auckland while visiting, but I'd love to go to the South Island someday :) I will be sending your card back to you tomorrow! :)

Comment: Beautiful PC of Hawaii. . . my brother-in-law and his girlfriend are heading there on Wednesday - they go every year over Thanksgiving for vacation. I've been there once and enjoyed it - so many beautiful flowers and so much to see and do. Thanks again for the beautiful PC ~~

Comment: Love the cards, Cindy -- thanks very much! And thanks for the Christmas cards too -- for the first time in years last year I did not mail the between the 50-75 that I always usually did, and people contacted me after the holidays thinking that there must have been something seriously wrong with me (like health wise I mean). So I've decided I'll be back at it this year and I'll
definitely be able to use the 3 you enclosed with the pc's.

Comment: Thank you so much for all the great cards. The Fiji and Mauritius ones, although old, are my favorites. The Romanian ones are great too and I love that one of these cards was actually from The USSR - a place that doesn't exist anymore. Thanks again!

Response: That's why I love vintage, so many things just don't exist any more but you still have an image of it :)

Comment: Thank you for the card. I've sent you a couple cards the past couple weeks, so it was extra nice to see you in my mail box! :) And I'm impressed the card got here so fast. Only about 5-6 days, it arrived yesterday or the day before I think. It takes that long for mail to go from Florida to Alaska in the US!

Response: That was quick! Amazing how some make it so fast and others take forever. And than you for the heart :D

Comment: thank you for the lovely recipe card and post cards. i have a friend who is currently traveling in your country and has nothing but wonderful things to say about it, she said the people are VERY kind and friendly.
merry christmas to you

Comment: Thanks so much for the wonderful card with the cupcake recipe on the back! I'm going to make them. I love the postcards with the beautiful mountains. The bookmark and tag will come in handy. Merry Christmas!!

Comment: Hi Cindy, thanks for the great p/c but how did a girl from N.Z. get a p/c from Richmond, Ohio lol? Swapbot certainly does take us to places we otherwise wouldn't get to go, doesn't it? I would love to be sitting there at that cute little cafe having my daily latte - care to join me? Thanks once again and happy swapping. Cheers, Barbara

Comment: Hi Cindy, Thank you for the FB's..... I just want to warn you about something here...be careful you don't send back ones the person has either made or already signed... There were two here..... that I had made for someone.... Others will rate you way down for this... I won't be others will.... Thank you very much Pat

Response: Oops, Im so sorry. I went through the pages to see if your name was there, but didnt think to look at the made for and by part. What a dummy I am. I will make sure to double check in the future. Thank you for the heart, that was really nice of you. Have a super day :-))

Comment: Cindy - What a great PC - looks very cold! We have had a really mild winter here (only had a light dusting of snow twice) so perhaps we'll flip-flop and you'll get our mild winter and we'll get your mild summer - that would be great since you don't like the cold and I don't like the heat & humidity : ) Thanks again for the great PC ~~

Comment: Arrived and it's wonderful! I <3 Love <3 the little santa stickers! Well, all the extras! I just have a weakness for little stickers! My only minor complaint is you forgot to write the name of the swap anywhere so I had to go digging to be able to rate you. It happens once in a while to all of us I'm sure so you are forgiven of course! Thank you so much. I needed to nice swap today!

Comment: Many thx for your lovely card !! It was fun to see the pictures of your cat :-) Really great! I know the feeling. Merlot also prefers a simple cardboard box in the end..... so typical !! :-) Lots hugs & meows from Merlot!
Happy holidays

Comment: WHAT A REALLY COOL POSTCARD! I LOVE IT! My little son loved it so much that he begged me if he could have it! ha~ha! Now he wants to go take a "vacation" to New Zealand!!! Thanks a lot!!! just teasing!

Comment: Thanks for the nice postcard of South Africa. That blue water sure looks nice. There is a building on the lower part of the pc that is round and looks like the top is open. Is that a sports complex? Darla

Response: That is the new stadium they built for the soccer world cup last year. Its massive.

Comment: Thanks for the nifty PC pf the Maori war canoe. I know just what you mean about summer whizzing by. It's been mostly HOT here, and we luck out if we get an afternoon thunderstorm, but the rain dries almost immediately. Take care ;)

Comment: This postcard is really special to me - I love it! Beautiful animals! Sorry about your Beardeds - they are so great. Ours is getting old,slowing down a bit,but loves his worms! LOL! Take care!! : )

Comment: I love the postcard map of new Zealand - THANK YOU! Frankly, I LOVE New Zealand based on everything I have heard & read about it, and I continue to dream of taking an extended trip there someday.

Comment: Yes Spring is my favorit season. All fresh and new, the colors and smells. I saw my first Hummingbird of the year yesterday, got so excited since I knew it was almost time for them to return. I have had the feeder hanging for over a week for them. Thanks for the lovely comment! <3

Comment: Good morning! Thanks for putting in prospective about Wal-mart! We are so spoiled and do not think about what we take for granted! Our Wal-mart does not carry much in the way of scrap-booking stuff, but I know some of them do! Hugs and Happy Swapping! Enjoy your holiday - I am envious of a 5 week holiday!! ;)

Comment: Hi Cindy
I wish I could give you more than a heart - my first postcard from the cook islands - fantastic. I am a member of postcrossing and love it.
Thanks agian for the card - perfect
Penny Hamilton

Comment: Hi Cindy, the re-send arrived, yay! Thank you so much for such a beautiful card =D I know what you mean about hardly having a summer - it was the same for us here in Melbourne - only a few real beach days - the rest of the weather has just been icky! Oh well - there's always next summer to look forward to ;D Thanks again, Margs x

PS: HOPE YOU ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE NEW ZEALAND EARTHQUAKE ?

Comment: Thank you Cindy for the nice PC. My husband and I love sailing, so all these sailling boats were perfect for us !... Even if I didn't find either were the Oriental comes from !
March 7 : Cindy, what a surprise to receive all these goodies you sent me, just because I posted your 100th heart !!! Thank you so much ! I love these kind of surprises !!! You made my day... and even my week !!! ;-)

Comment: What a fabulous hometown! Looks plenty big to me, Greensboro isn't exactly NYC, either. :) But darlin', walking on a railroad bridge? Sounds dangerous! And good heavens, it looks to be MILES long! You must be in great shape. :) Thanks for such an enjoyable peek at your hometown!

Response: Hi, there is a walk path next to the actual train tack so its not that dangerous ;-D but it wobbles alot when a train comes past, hehe. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful PC of Rarotonga, near New Zealand. It does look lovely, and I would love to laze by the water on the beach, & just let all cares fall away. Thank you for sending this bit of sunshine. Take care :)

Comment: such a gorgeous hunk of wood there!!
but no,
i don't see it as lumber at all,
of course.
it truly is awesome how long trees
live & so Tragic when i see them
down & repurposed for human
conveniences {sigh}
i hope the year is going well for you
& let's continue to celebrate our
tall leafy friends ... TREEs!

Comment: OMGosh! That postcard you sent for this was hilarious! My son and I were laughing about it saying how it was NOT scary, but funny!!! HA!! Thanks so much for the cool card and for joining my swap! Hope to see you in more in the future :) Have a great rest of the week, Cindy!

Comment: Thanks for the PC! I am glad to add a PC with sheep on it from New Zealand to my collection. I wouldn't mind visiting there sometime. My roommate has lived there fr 2 years before and she also says its beautiful.

Comment: Thanks for the great postcard!!! Do you have Starbucks there? Yes, home of Hershey and Obama...! But 50 states only! : ) Hope we will swap again - how fun to hear from you in New Zealand!!! Susan

Comment: Hello Cindy, thank you so much for the lovely teas and nice card. I can't wait to to try it. It's been raining a lot these days so teas are perfect during this time. I went to New Zealand in 2009 and i loved it! I was in Auckland with my family to visit a long time family friend and we had a blast! I hope to go there again next time! :) I'll be sending something to you soon so hope you get it soon :)

Comment: Lovely card and a very interesting stamp..I can see why you want to visit that area..hope you will get to go there soon. Nice postage stamp..interesting to see a postage stamp featuring another postage stamp.
